I have read so much in various Discussions and Polls here in the community about how we love sex! It is like we can’t get enough of it or we are engaged in it almost daily! I would like to reverse the question and ask, how long have you abstained from SEX and MASTURBATION? It seems to me that after a period of abstinence (including self-masturbation), that the sex is even more intense and erotic.

There was a movie call "40 Days and 40 Nights" (2002) about a San Francisco dot-com web designer Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett) who vowed to abstain from sexual activity and contact (including self-gratification) for 40 days and nights for Lent. As his friend said, "The male was biologically designed to spread his seed, Matt. You're gonna piss off the seeds, man! You're gonna... It goes against science! You wanna be the guy who goes against science?"

When he became involved with dream girl Erica Sutton (Shannyn Sossamon), whom he had met in a laundromat, he had to find other means to avoid violating his vow by, blowing white flower petals across Erica's naked body (down her stomach and then across her panties) as she was lying on her back - it caused her to writhe with pleasure and experience an "immaculate" orgasm without being touched. In other scenes during his abstinence period, he imagined various women semi-nude (on a bus and in a street scene), as he became more and more obsessed about sex ("I'm seeing things! I swear to God, everywhere I look I'm seeing tits and ass")!

With this illustration in mind, I would like to ask again, what has been YOUR personal experience as to the length of ‘time’ in which you have abstained from SEX (including masturbation) and what your experience was like when reengaging again in sexual activity? Let us all honor that person who had the perseverance to hold out the longest!!! less

I actually just realized today that it's been almost a year since I've had partnered sex (I went through a bad breakup & am not the type do casual flings & still don't feel emotionally capable with trying a relationship again) & six months since I've even kissed anyone!

But I'm a bit of a masturbation addict & I think the longest I've ever been without touching myself is 9 days. I start getting overly stressed & get to the point where I can't think about anything but sex constantly if I don't do it at least once every other day. less
